We’re making foods our surrogate is craving!

Buffalo chicken dip is one that she enjoys on the reg, and we figured it was the perfect time to share our favorite recipe. Don’t even get us started on her love of potatoes, that will be a future topic as our little Potato Head must be developing his palette, too!

This simple crowd favorite is usually an appetizer found at parties and tailgates, but why not make it at home just for you and your loved one. In fact, no slow cooker is needed here. You are indeed welcome to making this in the crockpot, and if so, we’d recommend doubling the ingredients; then, cook on high for 2 hours before keeping warm.

One of our favorite pans is cast iron, and it makes the perfect vessel for this dip. The crispy edges caramelize beautifully for an added sweetness to such a savory and spicy treat!

You will need

1, 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 c shredded rotisserie chicken (or a large can of cooked chicken)
1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 c hot sauce
3 T ranch seasoning (or a single serve packet)
3 T green onions, rinsed and chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium-size mixing bowl, stir first five ingredients together. Transfer to an 8” cast iron skillet or a 1-quart baking dish.
Bake 20 minutes or until brown and bubbly (feel free to turn the broiler on for a few minutes if needed).
Sprinkle with green onions. Serve warm with tortilla chips, veggies, crackers and/or pretzels.
Enjoy!
